Baked dough was silky,light and chewy. I let the dough rise twice and then refrigerated for an hour to firm up the butter. I then shaped after deflating the dough and letting it rest for 10 minutes. Rolling it out to a 15 X 20 was no problem. I made a paste of the cinn and sugar by adding some water and then brushed it on the dough that I had brushed with softened butter. It rolled nicely and I had 16 perfect cinn rolls. I cut them 1 & 1/4 thick. The topping of additional cinn & sugar before baking and also sprinkling sugar and cinn in the buttered pans is a great addition. The frosting isn't like Cinnibon, I think they add cream cheese.
I am freezing half of the batch to see how they taste after freezing. These rolls rise beautifully in the oven. I hope this review has been helpful.

These are the best things that I have ever eatten! They are very light and fluffy and rose very nicely. I used a breadmaker on the dough setting. I also put a little bit of cinnamon in the dough for some extra flavor.

If you're looking to make some cinnamon rolls, you should definatly try these!
